An Unwanted Marriage

Already Forgiven

Happy Reading & ''Double 'DREAM

Light rain and cloudy clouds lead Amanda and her baby to their final resting place.

Just as Amanda wanted, she went back to the noble family. Not much to bring him away, none of his close friends came except Sabina and Gibran. Also, some of Sabina's father's envoys, including religious leaders, were asked to attend to help with her funeral.

Andre was present there, his face still looks sad. He himself did not expect Amanda's departure so affected him.

The black umbrella protected Sabina from the rain stubs, she tightly hugged her husband's waist and Gibran countered by embracing his shoulder. Crying is still heard, although rarely.

This is where Amanda lies next to her mother and son. In the end what ushered in his departure were the people who really cared about him not his fun-loving friends.

"Daughter of Amandana," murmured Andre read a tombstone on a small mound of earth. He did not add his name there because Andre felt he was not one hundred percent sure if it was his own flesh and blood.

The chanting of the holy verse was offered as a prayer for Amanda and her baby. Sabina again sobbed and Gibran further tightened his embrace.

"Darling, let's go." whispered Gibran when all the funeral processions were over. Sabina nodded her head in response and they started walking away.

Gibran turned his head and saw Andre still standing glued in silence, looking at the 2 mounds of dirt that were still wet with his sad face.

However, the man Gibran did not like was once his best friend. As an ordinary human, Gibran felt compassion.

"Darling, how about we wait for him a little while" Gibran said, pointing to Andre with his eyes.

"But not today you have to go to the clinic ? you've left her too long." replied Sabina asked back.

"Today I will accompany you, I will not go to work." Gibran knew Sabina was feeling fragile right now. Amanda's sudden death, exactly one day after she came to apologize made Sabina's feelings uncertain.

"Thank you" Sabina muttered as she looked at her husband's face with love and vice versa.

Andre looked at the couple carefully, there was envy creeping into his heart. He was envious because he also wanted to feel life with a woman who sincerely loved him.

"If we hadn't hurt each other, it would have been me and you (Amanda) like them" Andre thought.

"Have you finished ?" ask Gibran and make Andre wake up from his daydream.

"Eh. yes. Waiting for me ?"

"Yes, let's go back and not stay here for long" replied Gibran.

Andre smiled faintly, even though they were not friendly anymore, but Andre knew that Gibran still had a sense of caring for him even if only a little.

"Gibran when did his DNA test results come out ?" ask Andre.

Now the three walked together with Gibran who was in the middle of them of course and he grasped Sabina's fingers tightly.

"2 or 3 weeks away, I'm told once the results are in."

"huufft," Andre took a deep breath. The next three weeks will be tough for him.

"Where are you going now ?" Andre asked when they finally reached the parking lot.

"Gue my wife wants to go home" replied Gibran.

Andre rolled his eyes lazily, without Gibran even mentioning he knew if Sabina was his wife.

"Mmm, may I speak to Bina for a moment ?" ask Andre.

Gibran and Sabina immediately exchanged glances, actually in Gibran's heart he did not allow but he had promised Andre if he would give it a chance.

"Please, it won't be long." beg Andre.

Sabina was still staring at Gibran who looked tense, she knew that her husband did not like her.

"We'll go home, come on." take Sabina with a gentle swipe of Gibran's arm to calm down.

After thinking for a while, Gibran finally decided.

"Okay, but Lo time is not long and after this my wife's lo ma business is completely finished" said Gibran firmly.

"Okay, just this one chance. It won't be long, I just want to apologize." replied Andre

***

This is where Andre and Sabina sit opposite each other in a cafe in a famous shopping center, while Gibran is in a bookstore located directly opposite it. This was the first chance for the two to be able to speak calmly after Andre left Sabina one year ago.

"Look at your husband, Bina. He said he allowed us to talk but across the street his eyes kept watching" Andre said with a laugh.

"Thank you" said Andre to the waiter who had just delivered 2 cups of drinks. Tea for Sabina and coffee for herself. What Andre said made Sabina refocus on her interlocutor.

Andre looked at Sabina's eyes deeply before he spoke. There is a sense of longing, regret and also relief.

Relieved that Sabina looks happy despite not living with her.

"Bina, are you happy ?" Andre asked to start their conversation.

"Well, I'm so happy." Sabina replied without hesitation and she did not lie because that was what Sabina actually felt.

"Thank God, because you are most entitled to it." continued Andre and Sabina smilingly confirming.

"I'm sorry for all the bad things I've done to you, I'm really sorry." Andre lowered his head and took a deep breath as he said that. His chest felt tight because of the guilt that enveloped him.

"I've been sorry for you for a long time" Sabina and Andre answered, raising their faces in disbelief.

"Lie if I don't feel hurt and disappointed. Of course I feel it all but it's all over, I've moved on with my life and I'm now happier even without you." Sabina and Andre still look at him in disbelief.

"What I did to you was so evil, Bina. I betrayed our 10-year relationship with your best friend."

"Then what should I do ? begging you to come back ? I won't do that." Sabina said, shaking her head.

"I won't defend a man who doesn't love me. Although it is not easy, I choose to forgive you and let you go so that I can forget everything that happened between us, because if I'm not willing then I'll keep thinking about you and get caught up in the stories of the past. No, I'm not gonna do that. I also will not let real love pass me by." continued Sabina again.

"And that true love is Gibran ?" andre asked, smiling.

"Yes, don't think it ?" sabina replied with her happy face.

Andre looked into Sabina's eyes, no lies there. The woman he loved was now living happily.

"Sabina deserves to be happy" Alya said last time ringing in her ears clearly. Now it's time to let go of the past as Sabina did.

"I'm happy because you're living happily. Really am... Again, forgive all my mistakes and thank you for all your kindness, Bina." said Andre solemnly.

"You're Andre too, good luck." Sabina said sincerely and Andre's eyes condensed upon hearing that.

"I'd better go, Gibran has been waiting for me" Sabina said as she stood up.

Andre also stood up, intending to deliver but Sabina refused. Gibran who saw it went straight out of the bookstore and walked towards his wife who came out of the cafe.

Gibran grabbed Sabina's fingers in his grasp, and Sabina walked along with him. No words were spoken from the two, but their eyes seemed to say many words of love.

Andre looked at their departure with a lighter feeling because now he had resignedly accepted his destiny. And one thing that makes her feel relieved is that Sabina gets a good man's life companion.

Andre sat back on his stool, spending the rest of the coffee in the cup while looking at the raindrops that fell through the window. His mind drifted somewhere.

***

2 Weeks have passed since the death of Amanda as well as her son. Life is back to the way it was. Gibran has re-opened the practice in his clinic even Sabina offers to enlarge the clinic. Of course, Gibran was happy because his wife was so supportive of his career and passion.

At 8am Andre had been waiting for Gibran's arrival in his practice room. Gibran sent him a message last night if the DNA test results Andre asked for were in place.

Gibran who had just arrived in his room was surprised to see Andre who had been sitting waiting for him.

" Have you waited a long time ?" Ask Gibran.

"Not for long either" replied Andre who looked nervous.

Gibran sat in his chair and pulled out a white envelope bearing the name of a famous laboratory and still sealed indicating the letter had never been opened from his briefcase and gave it directly to Andre.

Andre grabbed the white envelope with trembling hands and began to open it.
